Happy Monday!

Monday's always seem to come too soon... and instead of saying how much I don't want it to be Monday, I thought I'd share some things that make me thankful to wake up another day.... even if it's on a Monday.

A dog that adores her daddy so much that she waits by the window knowing he'll be there any minute...

A family that believes that fighting for this country is their duty and honor.

A brother (and husband, sister in law, father, brothers) who commits their lives to something that will better the lives of those he doesn't even know.

2 precious kids who have grown up to be such amazing adults.

Freedom to say what we feel, think or believe...

a sister in law who sends me pictures of this sweet boy when I'm having a rough day.

The simple fact that my rings are back on my finger where they belong.

﻿

Our dog who is AMAZING with kids even tho she's not around them too often.

A husband who is so wonderful with kids (and dogs)

but most of all the fact that I get to spend the rest of my life with this handsome man!!

On a side note.... we found out on Friday that my hubby will be going to a month long training from October to November... please say a little prayer and send happy thoughts for Daisy and I while we learn how to cope without Andy. I had a little sobbing moment on Friday when it hit me that he will be gone... we are blessed to have not had to go through a deployment yet but with him in the Army we know it will come eventually. So if I'm not my usual peppy self next month, you'll know why ;) I'm just going to take it day by day.

As much as it's going to suck... I am however, thankful we are both employed and it's our joy to serve this country and we are so thankful for our freedom. ... I feel like I should add a "hooah" or something. :)

Randi, I will be thinking of you while Andy's gone. I had to deal with being alone for 2 weeks last summer while B was on an AF rotation. And five weeks the summer before that while he was at Officer Training. So, I know how hard it is. But, trust me - you guys will get through it and you will be okay. You and I will both have to learn to deal with deployments in the future, but take comfort in knowing that you are not alone! I am so proud of both of our husbands for choosing to serve their country. And your family? Wow! That's a military family to be proud of!!! PS: I just read your comment on my post from earlier. I love Velveeta dip, but was trying to make a healthier alternative. Might just have to stick with the Velveeta though, because it just wasn't as good without it!

Love your rings. They are so pretty-I feel naked without mine too. My hubs is gone right now. Only 6 wks but I only say that because last time it was 11. Months. It's one of those things that you never totally get okay about but just learn to deal with.
